Ann J. Farley

Ann died peacefully at her final residence at Waveny Lifecare Network, in New Canaan, CT.

She was born on October 15, 1940 in Bronx, NY to Roger and Dora Janelli. Ann graduated from Good Counsel College in White Plains, NY and Cabrini College in Radnor, PA.

She was predeceased by her husband of 47 years, the late John U. Farley, Jr. (“Jack”), whom she married on February 4, 1967. She was also predeceased by her brother Dr. Roger L. Janelli.

She began her enduring, dedicated career in education teaching business at Mother Butler High School in Bronx, NY. After getting married, and when Ann and Jack were just starting their family with their first child, they moved to Woodcliff Lake, NJ and then later to Lake Forest, Illinois in 1973, until settling with her family in Greenwich, CT in 1985 for nearly 40 years. Ann continued teaching adult education wherever she went, including courses in keyboarding and shorthand, and became a substitute teacher in the Greenwich Public School System for decades.

She was widely known throughout the teaching community and often sought out by teachers to cover their classes. She was a loving mother who was devoted to raising her three children and spending time with her grandchildren. Ann and Jack were long-standing members of the Greenwich Country Club in Greenwich, CT where they frequently celebrated holidays and special occasions every year with their family. They were also members of the Bruce Museum where they regularly attended events. She spent her summers with family at their home on Candlewood Lake in Brookfield, CT.

Ann will be deeply missed by all those she affected throughout her entire life. Ann is survived by her three children: John, III of Greenwich, CT; Cheryl of Greenwich, CT; and Roger and daughter-in-law Christina of Darien, CT and four grandchildren: Dori of Baltimore, MD; Adam of Alexandria, VA; Paige of Greenwich, CT; and Quinn of Darien, CT.

Calling hours will take place on Saturday, May 9, from 9 am to 10:30 am at Leo P. Gallagher & Son Funeral Home located at 31 Arch St. Greenwich, CT followed by a private mass.
